The Lewis/Willcox Blueberry Pie-
A family recipe using (some) uncooked berries
Ingredients:
One pre-cooked pie shell (Be sure to poke fork holes in a pie shell before baking. Cool and set aside.)
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
5 cups fresh blueberries (or 3 cups frozen, for cooking, and 2 cups fresh)
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions:
Combine the sugar with the cornstarch, salt, and water in a saucepan. Add 3 cups of blueberries, stir together, and bring to a boil, cooking for 2 minutes until it has thickened. Off the heat, add margarine or butter and lemon juice, then stir in 2 more cups of fresh blueberries and pack into pie shell. Chill until firm.
Tip:
You can also make a tasty pie out of all fresh berries. You just make a sugar-and-water-and-cornstarch glaze, put the fresh berries into the pie crust, and pour the glaze over them, then chill to set.
